Our Financial Assistance is designed to provide temporary relief to DSAA families in urgent need. It's important to note that this is not a long-term solution. If your application is approved, the assistance is a one-time occurrence. The Financial Assistance Committee will review your completed form and provide a decision within 7-10 business days. Please ensure your form is complete to avoid automatic denial.

• Assistance approval is based on Funds availability.

• Applicant must be a parent or caregiver of a person with Down syndrome.

• No cash given to applicants.

• Assistance will only be provided for ONE need (Food, Utilities, or Mortgage/Rent).
